Resident Education on the Surgical Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures Using a Point-of-View Camera.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era, surgical resident education depends largely on virtual materials. With the help of point-of-view (POV) cameras, educational videos have become widely used for surgical training. A video recorded from the surgeon's POV helps demonstrate the procedure. We made training movies of the surgical approach to distal radius fractures for residents using a head-mounted video recording system with a laser point targeting device (LPTD).

Methods

A 15-minnute movie of the trans-flexor carpi radialis approach for distal radius fractures was made. A POV camera was assembled with an LPTD and strapped on the surgeon's head. This enabled maintenance of the surgical field while recording the procedure. A shorter version of the clip was
